User input from the console

How can i get user input from the console?

Here is my code so far if it helps:

Code:

---

public class Student
{
        private static String Teacher;
        private static String StudentName;

        /**
        * Create a student
        *
        * @param StudentName
        */
        public Student()
        {
            //Do nothing!
        }
       
        public static void main(String StudentName)
        {
            Student student = new Student();
                       
            Teacher = "Mr Whyley";
            StudentName = StudentName;
            //Print details
            System.out.println("Student Name: " + StudentName);
            System.out.println("Teacher: " + Teacher);
        }

        /**
        * Get teacher name for a student
        *
        * @return Teacher
        */
        public String getTeacher()
        {
            return Teacher;
        }
}

I want to get 'StudentName' from the console.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

use br.readLine() to get the text,but be sure to catch an io exception with this line.


*import java.io.*;

Shouldn't this declaration of the main method be as follows:

Code:

---

public static void main(String args[])

---

args will then contain an array of strings supplied at the command line. Another way to receive input from the command line. :)

I didn't catch that, but yes, your main method MUST be public, static, void, called main, and takes an array of strings as an argument.
